Explanation:
Your answer would be D). Western Europe. During the 1600s and 1700s, people that were from Western Europe, mostly people from Great Britain, did not like the way the government worked, and they wanted to have more freedom. Because of that, they became colonists. Colonists are people that settle into a new land and form a colony, and that's what they did. They immigrated from Western Europe to the United States to have more freedom, because the government in Great Britain was very strict at that time. Also, there were a lot of pilgrims that wanted to freely practice their religion, but places in Western Europe didn't allow that, so they also immigrated to the United States so they could practice their religion without worrying about things stopping them. They immigrated to the United States, formed their own colony, and became independent from Great Britain.
A taping system (aka recording device) installed in the office of the President helped lead to the downfall of President Nixon.
